Corner Boys
Corner Boys is Robert Hunt's memoir of growing up on the mean streets of St. John's in the 1950s and '60s. Within the working-class neighbourhoods that are central to this tale, trouble seemed to lurk behind every corner, ready to be found by those who were looking for it. This dark yet humorous coming-of-age story follows a young and mischievous boy along the sidewalks and into the backyards of a turbulent--and sometimes violent--city.
Why Me?
There are trillions of planets in our galaxy-billions with a formula for life. To think mankind is the only intelligent lifeform to evolve would be egotistical and absurd. Extraterrestrials not only exist, they pluck us from our beds and cars-anytime and everywhere-to study, teach, and prepare us for the inevitable. Robert Hunt knows this beyond a shadow of a doubt. He's been abducted by aliens since the night of his seventh birthday. This book is a true account of his sixty-three years as a human being who has experienced the unexplained, the unfathomable, the impossible-and lived to talk about it.
One Four Man Up
One Four Man Up is about a young man who decided to join the Marines in 1967. After being trained as a radio telegraph operator, he was sent to Vietnam in April 1968. During his 13 month tour of duty, he endured constant combat, was wounded in action, and saw buddies killed. Upon his return, he was treated poorly, could not talk to anyone about his experiences, and suffered terrible Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It wasn't until 20 years later that he was able to come full circle and receive the welcome home he had longed to receive when he marched in a parade in Washington, DC on the 4th of July. Read the intense combat scenes this man endured and learn what finally enabled him to rid himself of the many years of PTSD that haunted him.

Hunt's Hand-Book to the Official Catalogues of the Great Exhibition
A renowned chemist, photographer and scholar, Robert Hunt was a passionate advocate of popular education and the ideal choice to author an accessible and informative handbook to the greatest educational event of the nineteenth century. Published in 1851, while the Great Exhibition was still welcoming visitors in Hyde Park, Hunt's Hand-Book is an encyclopaedia of Victorian material science, chemistry, engineering and design. While an array of catalogues, pamphlets and guides told the story of the exhibition's conception and construction, Hunt reserved his pages for a detailed and comprehensive account of the exhibits themselves. Consequently, this two-volume work quickly established itself as the authoritative guide to the exhibits, their manner of manufacture and practical application in the modern world. Aided by a series of meticulous plans, Volume 1 leads readers through the celebrated Medieval Court and spectacular and varied displays of agricultural produce, weaponry, and porcelain.
